The -j tells the build system how many processors the kernel should build for. Since your power9 can do 4 threads/processor slice then multiply the number of cores in your cpu by 4 and use that number. 4 cores = 16, 8cores =32.
make -j 16 is for a 4 core power9

Blackbird / Re: Keyboard unresponsive at boot menu (Petitboot)
« on: December 12, 2019, 06:57:46 am »
Yes, it is a PITA. I do suggest that you simply put up with it until a solution is found that does not involve modifying or adding code to the firmware. Doing that could become a headache in the future.
On my setup I rigged a small toggle switch to the disable pins and mounted it to the front panel. Switch-up, jumper-on. Switch-down, jumper-off.

@AlbertoGP
I have a Talos II. If the VGA/HDMI disable jumper is OFF then the Petitboot screen and keyboard work as expected, and selection of what I want to do is straight forward. If the disable jumper is ON then although the keyboard IS working it does not show on the display.
To select one of 3 OS's I need to count how many times it is necessary to tap the up cursor key to select the OS I want and then hit Enter. Blank spaces are counted as one tap on the up cursor.
So for my setup it's 9 taps for Ubuntu, 15 taps for Fedora, and 18 taps for Debian, then Enter.
Give it a try.

Legacy POWER Hardware / Re: Old stuff survey

It's not POWER, but I have and use a A-EON X1000 (PA6T 1682M) running Fienix Linux and Amiga OS4.
At this time I'm running the 5.4 kernel that I build on my Talos 2 with Deb 10.

This is just GREAT. 
I was reading he thread about the problems MauryG5 is having with his AMD NAVI graphics card and thinking how difficult it would have been, especially for a Linux newbee, to have gotten to the bottom of his problem on IRC.
I do hope more people will be signing on here. I only stumbled on the link on Twitter, where I seldom visit.
